Mensah’s speed is incredibly 1.95mph quicker than the average roadrunner - an animal renowned for its pace.

The Dutch centre-back, 21, who can also play as a full-back or defensive midfielder, beat the likes of Ruben Vinagre, Leroy Sane, Newcastle's DeAndre Yedlin, West Ham's Felipe Anderson and Divock Origi.

Wolves forward Vinagre was just 0.08 seconds behind while prolific Manchester City speedster Sane was marginally behind in third.
